Celestial Show Set for New Year's Eve

A delightful display of planets and the moon will occur on New Year's Eve for anyone wishing to step outside and look up just after sunset.

Venus, brighter than all other planets and stars, will dangle just below the thin crescent moon in the southwestern sky. It'll be visible -- impossible to miss, in fact -- just as the sun goes down, assuming skies are cloud-free.

Soon thereafter, Mercury and Jupiter will show up hugging the south-southwestern horizon (just above where the sun went down) and extremely close to each other. Jupiter is very bright and easy to spot; Mercury is faint and harder to see, but it'll be apparent by its location just to the left of Jupiter.

Jupiter and Mercury will set less than an hour after the sun, so timing your viewing just after sunset is crucial. You'll also need a location with a clear view of the western horizon, unobstructed by buildings, trees or mountains.

All the planets, along with the moon and sun, traverse an arc across our sky called the ecliptic, which corresponds to the plane in space that they all roughly share. For this reason, you could draw an imaginary line from the general location of Venus and the moon, down through the other two planets, and the line would point to where the sun went down. This line could also initially help you find Jupiter and Mercury.

Weather permitting, you can get a preview of the sky show on Tuesday, Dec. 30. On this evening, the planets will be in nearly the same place they'll be on Dec. 31, but the moon will be midway between Venus and the Mercury-Jupiter pairing.

Some things are not meant to be forever, you have to stop and let go when things aren’t going right and everything you did is unappreciated. Remember: It is wiser to be alone but happy than with somebody who do nothing while you do everything.

Rivers don’t drink the water they carry, Trees don’t eat the fruit they bear, Clouds don’t bathe in the rain they produce, We are meant to give, even if we get nothing from it. Measuring life by what others do may disappoint us, But measuring life by what we do will make life meaningful.

Always remember that you can never find a perfect partner to love you the way you wanted, only a person who’s willing to love you more than what you are, someone who’ll accept you for what you can and for what you can’t be. And that’s even better than perfect.

When you’ve found a reason to walk away. Never look back, just keep walking. Its better to get lost moving on than to get stacked and stranded broken.

The best thing you can do for someone is to just exist, to be there when they suddenly realize that they need you right then.

Sometimes the only thing people see is what you did. When in fact, they should be looking at. WHY you did it.

One night I talked to my heart, “do you hate me?” I asked My heart said “no, why are you asking me that?” “because your always hurting me” I said Then my heart said “me? Did I hurt you? How?” Then tears fell from my eyes. Coz your always make me fall for a wrong person
